On Monday I found out that my DS is 9th on the waiting list (240 intake). She was aware of at least 4 who had declined the school but she gave the impression that she was waiting to see if there was further information in from the LA over the weekend so there might be more. She said that no offers would go out this week but from next week there should be movement. I didn't call back this week, despite wanting to hound her on a daily basis! I will make contact early this week to check progress.
It is a very sort after school so I'm not sure there will be huge amount of movement but we are in a superselective grammar area so some kids may get places from the waiting list for grammars which may free the odd place. There are also a number of private schools.
The anticipation is driving me potty! I keep imagining swaths of boys moving in to the area and joining the list ahead of us! If any one could share there waiting list stories (good, bad or otherwise) it might help to keep me going and/or be realistic about our chances.
